What the fuck happened to UK music? Why haven't we produced anything great in years?
>>61116643
it was never that great to begin with.
>>61116655
edgy
Steven Wilson, Richard Hawley, ELO, Killing Joke, Everything Everything, Sarapnitum, Uncle Acid, Napalm Death, My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost made good albums this year
>>61116655
Dumb burger

>nothing great in years
>new TesseracT album came out this September
>>61116708
It was pretty weak tbhonest
Best djent album this year was from Denmark
>nothing great in years
>Craig David and Big Narstie released a song a month ago
>>61116706

I don't agree with this in the slightest. The last UK album that I thought was actually great was PJ Harvey - Let England Shake which came out all the way back in 2011.
That's the only great UK record I can think of from this decade. I'll grant you Steven Wilson though.
>>61116746
Well I get if you are not into metal
But british indie scene is more dead than ever, new Foals album was really underwhelming
>>61116758
>Well I get if you are not into metal
Yea, not so much my thing. I was thinking more Rock/Pop. It seems like the UK scene is so dead these days.
>>61116643
Because for some reason being in a band was no longer "cool" probably something to do with cunts like Coldplay and the Kaiser Chiefs
Rock became less popular.
>>61116721
Which album?
Young Fathers fucking own and you're a total thundercunt if you don't like them
>>61116706
>Steven Wilson, Richard Hawley, ELO, Killing Joke, Everything Everything, Sarapnitum, Uncle Acid, Napalm Death, My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost made good albums this year
I'm not really contesting this, but most of these are established artists that have been going for 20-30 years...
which is all very well, but where's the new stuff? what's fresh?
>>61116942
"Queen is Dead" was one of the best tracks of 2013.
>>61116706
>Implying any of this is good compared to the likes of Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Dire Straits, Black Sabbath, Oasis, The Stone Roses, Queen, Deep Purple, The Smiths, David Bowie, The Police, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden etc
Because everyone is a wigger and is obsessed with 'grime' and shit rap music

>>61117011
Sarpanitum and Uncle acid are fairly new
>>61117092
Upboated
>>61117248
Really weak album, shame because Further seemed like return to form
>>61116643
UK got musically cucked
>>61117379
But the chemical brothers have never had a bad album?
>>61117379
>Born in the Echoes
>Under Neon Lights
>EML Ritual, I'll see you there, Taste of Honey
First two songs are amazing. The last are good fillers
TCB were never too consistent with their albums, I was happy with this one almost twenty years after their golden age.
>>61117607
We are The Night was bad
>>61117690
Reflexion was only great track
Someone forgot about the greatest song of the last 15 years.

Because Drum and Bass and Braindance aren't mainstream in UK anymore.
reminder that bongs are the ones importing dull shit like adele, sam smith, ed sheeran
>>61116643
You forgot that Bowie is about to drop 2016 AOTY
>>61116810
Stop being dumb man, there aren't any superstars anymore because bands are out of vogue. But there's loads of good stuff going on, check out Garden of Elks, Paws and Halfrican, that should satisfy your desire for UK based rock. I'm not too well acquainted with the scene in England, but Scotland has a pretty good scene.
>>61117780
wouldn't that be exporting?
>>61117092
but these arists are shit compared to the likes of gentle gians, cardiacs or magma
Because for some reason it's all catering to Tumblr-type teenage girls.
It's all fucking Lily Allen and Marina & the Diamonds.
Jai Paul, Floating Points, Young Fathers, Forest Swords and Dean Blunt are really interesting artists who have made great music.
>>61118205
>Jai Paul
>making music
jej
Bloc party? Foals?
>>61118400
Bloc Party had one good album 10 years ago and then a stream of warm shit since
Foals are ok
>>61116643
>we
That includes you.
So why haven't you?
>>61117262
if you hate modern music why are you here
go read a dadrock magazine
>>61116643
There hasn't been a UK hit in the Billboard Top 10 since 2002. I don't know if that speaks to the quality of their music or the quality of ours.
oi rude bwoy shut up
>>61118580
>if you hate modern music why are you here
Why shouldn't he be? It's not like this board is for the discussion of modern music specifically.
>>61117780
That would be exporting m8
>>61117267
I NEVER SAW YOU LEAVE
YOU NEVER SAW ME

My nigga
>>61117731
We are the night was good tho?
You're dumb
>>61116643
>>61118162
Lily Allen was great
A woman singing songs about blowjobs and crack whores in the charts was great, compare it to Adele's nondescript dirges about nothing in particular they're miles ahead
>>61118599
>There hasn't been a UK hit in the Billboard Top 10 since 2002.
What the fuck are you talking about? The US number 1 single right fucking now is Adele.
Ed Sheeran, Adele, Sam Smith, One Direction Coldplay, Mumford and Sons, etc have had dozens of top ten hits between them and the biggest selling albums worldwide lists are always dominated by British acts.
Kate tempest/Sleaford mods are pretty good to be honest
>>61118599
>There hasn't been a UK hit in the Billboard Top 10 since 2002
>Who is Adele
>Who is Sam Smith
>Who is Mark Ronson
>Who is Calvin Harris
>Who is Devilman
>Who are One Direction
>Who are Coldplay
There are probably more that I'm missing as well.
>>61119066
Her songs weren't particularly good tho and her fake cockney thing was lame af
I've been in love with her since she appeared on buzzcocks tho, she seems like a total bitch but I get off on that
>>61116758
>new Foals album was really underwhelming
no
>>61119253
>Who is Devilman
good question
literally who
why would you put this name among all those other big bois
>>61116643
Prasheed and Ahmed aren't exactly musical genuises.
>>61119261
Personally I quite like her lyricism
>>61119275
I just did it for the bants desu. He's a lyrical genius.
